The Turkey Vulture Society is a non-profit corporation. Its purpose is to promote scientific studies of the life habits and needs of the Turkey Vulture, to protect the vulture and its habitat, and to inform the public of the valuable and essential services this bird provides to mankind and to the environment. |
the TURKEY VULTURE SOCIETY LIBRARY |
The library of the Turkey Vulture Society is maintained at our new corporate headquarters in Charlottesville, Virginia. It consists of books, papers, reports, clippings, magazine articles, and computer information. The emphasis is on material related to the Turkey Vulture and other New World Vultures. The library is in the early stages of development. We are actively searching for additional books and material. Contributions and suggestions are welcome. |
